KL Rahul, the captain of the Punjab Kings team is currently playing in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League. However, his team has not done well in this year’s IPL so far. During the first phase of the competition, they could win only three of their eight matches as well. And, they started the second leg of the competition with a defeat to the Rajasthan Royals in the UAE.

The Punjab Kings will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next match this Saturday in Sharjah. The match should be a high-scoring one because it will be played in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium which is known for high-scoring matches.

KL Rahul, the Punjab Kings captain after losing the game to Rajasthan Royals, said: “It’s a tough one to swallow. We have been a team that has experienced games like these before. We need to see how we can handle pressure better. Trying to finish in the 18th over sometimes you go too hard and lose your way and let the opponents in. We haven’t learnt from previous mistakes. We will now try to come back stronger and win the next five games. We pulled things back quite nicely with the ball, kept taking wickets, which is very crucial in this format. Getting runs for me, Mayank and even Aiden in his first IPL game was important.”
